The Spencer family, their friendly black Labrador Annabelle and tabby cat Tanga at St Victor du Fau offer you a warm welcome at their luxury and large Ariegeoise farmhouse.  St Victor du Fau, a typical Ariegeoise farmhouse built circa 1800’s has been charmingly restored by its present owners. Deceptively modest in size from the front of the property, on entering the front door, the rooms are large and bright. The house has been modernised and brought into the 21st century whilst retaining its charm and many original features. Set in a gentle valley amongst the rolling hills on 50 acres of open farmland and about 12 acres of woods on a "Reserve Nationale" (national park), at the end of a half-mile drive, only 8kms from an important and medieval town Pamiers.  The roads around the property were used as part of the major cycling race "Le Tour de France" in the summer of 2006. The locality is a conservation area and is outstandingly beautiful.  It is an ideal holiday location for guests seeking peace and calm, in a rural location, yet minutes from very good local amenities. 
 
The self catering Farmhouse Gite accommodates up to 5 people from May until October in 2 ensuite bedrooms.  The self catering Studio Apartment "L'Ecurie" accommodates up to 2 people in September, October, November, March, April & May on short-term lets.  Longer lets are possible up to 6 months between September & May. 
 
There are 2 Bed & Breakfast rooms which accommodate up to 5 people throughout the year, except 23rd, 24th & 26th and 31st December. 
 
Pets are also welcome to stay in either the B&B (double room) or in "L'Ecurie" (self-catering 1bedroom studio apartment) by prior arrangement.
 
Have our local mobile hairdresser sort out your hair or have a hour's body massage without having to leave St Victor du Fau.
 
Horse-riding can be arranged with the local equestrian centre across the valley.  Individuals or groups can be taken out on hacks around the local area.

Pamiers is large town with a number of bars, restaurants, supermarkets and shops and is an hour’s drive from either Carcassonne or Toulouse airport and only 10 minutes drive from the A66 Autoroute/N20 which then continues south to Andorra.
